dto605 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 My d3 gps all of a sudden isn't working correctly. The red arrow that represents my car is at a 90 degree angle from the way I am really going. So it looks like the arrow on the screen is sliding sideways down the road I am driving on. I will attach a picture. Any ideas? Its driving me nuts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HawgPhixer Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 If you touch the little red and white diamond (compass arrow) in the lower right corner it will switch between heading up and north up. It is on page 37 of the manual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dto605 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I do that but it doesnt change the heading of the red arrow, just of the screen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Check your satellite signal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tblazin22s Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Sounds like something mine was doing. Try going modifying you current location and adjusting the direction of the arrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toytaco Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I have been dealing with that since I got the D3. I have attached a photo. I was driving southbound on I-5 not in North/South mode. If it were in N/S mode the arrow would be pointing to the left as it travels down I-5. In the photo I am traveling from right to left (it should be up) and my arrow is 90 deg. to the right, pointing up. Whenever an upcoming road that touches the road I am currently traveling on comes up my arrow tries to follow that until I am about 1/4 mile away and then the arrow jumps to my real location. I have adjusted my current location several times to orient the arrow correctly. It works for only a while and then the "tilt" returns. I also have good reception and it does not matter what the map orientation is. This also annoys me to no end. What's the deal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toytaco Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 dto650, I fixed mine. I had the unit replaced. Fortunately I bought it and had it installed at Car Toys on a credit card and was still within my 30 day return period. But I saw a post that might have some promise. I am curious though. Did you get just the D3 or the D3X with the BTB200 and iPod connector? Here is the link to the post that may or may not help. I was going to follow the advice but replacing the unit has worked. http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11931 Let everybody know if this works as I am sure more experience this problem. Cheers.
